The report shows up on the screen and looks great but when you try and delete a sentence you have to do it one word at a time and the spaces that are left when you delete a paragraph connot be closed up without a lot of manipulation ie one word at a time.
I used to send the report to a file and it would show up as IA5 format. I could open it in Word Perfect or Word and manipulate the data as if it were written using Word Perfect or Word. I use Rbase to gather and manipulate data and then send it to my clients using a word processor. Maybe I'm not smart enough to use 7.6 Gary Weitzel -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MikeB Sent: July-21-09 7:43 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: printing a report to a file RBDos of any flavor never printed to anything that was editable in word unless it was a plain text file.
